PETA Offers X-Prize for Artificial Meat
Where's my Wendy meat? (1130 comments)
While this is a pretty old concept in sci-fi it's definitely one that I've been wanting to actually live with for a while now. Even more as I've increasingly dealt with the issue of not wanting to kill animals, but not being entirely willing to stop eating meat (plus, c'mon, not to drag this further into a firestorm, but there are compelling arguments that animals killing other animals to eat is the natural way of things... nature is cruel as hell). Like others have said though, one of my biggest concerns is quality. With the way the agriculture is today flavor and quality have long, long given way to making a product that ships easily, grows quickly, reduces spoilage, and is made to conform to crazy marketing ideas (e.g. pork should be leaner to compete with chicken). All of this makes me worried that cultured meat will be dry, tasteless, and thoroughly unpleasant. A utility food for the very poor and vegetarians that's basically little more than a dry, tough tofu.
The biggest problem is that if we can culture meat with no need to kill the animals involved we really need to have human meat available. Not just for us to enjoy, but perhaps as a show of good faith to prove that it's not made from animals that have been raised for slaughter. Rudy Rucker's excellent integration of Wendy meat into his Ware series also got around one of the bigger problems to its adoption by using the oldest trick in the book: sex sells. An attractive nude woman lying on a bun with the caption "Eat Me"? Who could resist.

The other day I had interesting conversation with an old friend reminding me that I should definately write and article on. There are many people not aware of this and they should know before using any medication. If you have an accident or get hurt a lot of physicians will prescribe narcotics such as percosets, oxycodine, or even vallum. Absolutely, addicting. If a person has an addictive personality they could possibly get hooked. Causing them to be a drug addict, no fault of their own. Once they cross that line, it is extremely hard to break.
A quick story years ago someone I knew had a bad accident. He was an excellent father, and a great person. After that accident, he became addicted to oxycodine. He was a full blown drug addict. Years later when I took a psychology class I had learned that people should be cautious when given a drug. Especially if they do not know what the results will be. Of course, as a patient one will trust the doctor. My recommendation if it is a narcotic stay away. Try to take something else. Because the results sometimes are worse than the actual pain.

Customer Raves & Reviews
Beautiful Invitation.
Classic Allure Pocket Invitations We are very pleased with the Classic Allure invitation. It's exactly what my daughter was looking for. We loved being able to customize it to my daughter's wedding colors.
Classic Allure Pocket Invitations I am very happy with my decision to go with Magnet Street for my wedding invitations. I love the design and found Magnet Street to have exceptional customer service, especially when customizing designs. My invitations arrived very quickly and I couldn't be happier with the end product. We decided on the Classic Allure design for our invitations. The invitations are classic (as in the name!), with a very elegant design.
Beautiful Cards
Classic Allure Save the Date Postcards We ordered the Classic Allure Save the Date post cards. The cards arrived on time and were simply beautiful!! The paper was thick and heavy. The printing professional and precise. The cards were also very glossy and slick, which wasn't mentioned anywhere. Something else that wasn't mentioned was the size. The site/product description says the cards are 3" x 4", but when we got them, they measured 5' x 7". That meant that we couldn't use postcard stamps, we had to buy regular letter stamps which added to our overall cost. We were also planning on printing the recipients address right onto the card with our printer, but the cards were both too thick and too slick for that to work, so we ended up having to buy labels (equaling more $$). Our back round color was brown, and when we received the cards, the light brown part of the back ground (the gray part of the original image) wasn't as light as it appears on the screen. You almost can't see it. All in all, the cards were beautiful, minus some tiny tweeks. We're also ordering our wedding invites from MagnetStreet. We would definitely recommend MagnetStreet to our friends!!
Beautiful card and several option!
Classic Allure Rectangle Invitations Was able to personalize my invitation with font, colors and to match the theme of my wedding.
Great Service
Classic Allure Rectangle Invitations I'm really happy with buying from Magnet Street. They make sure to take care of you. I received all of my invitation and thank you cards in a nice coated cardboard magnetic closing box. The paper quality is great and I'm happy with having the ability to customize the colors (and with receiving a sample with the custom colors). These invites are classy and simple. I recommend buying this design and with buying from Magnet Street.

David Lee Roth Teases 'Secret' Van Halen Project
Is Van Halen getting ready to release some new music?
Is Van Halen getting ready to release some new music?
Bruce Springsteen performed Van Halen's 'Jump' in Dallas.
In an exclusive interview, Sammy Hagar looks back on a 'stupid' decision he and Van Halen made for their first show together.
Van Halen broke the dreaded sophomore jinx on March 23, 1979.
Sammy Hagar adds two new songs to a solo-career greatest hits collection, leading to a dispute with his Van Halen bandmates.
Following the release of 1991's 'For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge,' Van Halen embarked on a world tour that capped a phenomenally successful decade for what was already one of the biggest rock bands on the planet. Not a bad time to release a live album, in other words, and in 1993, they did just that, with 'Live: Right Here, Right Now.' According to a new report, however, that double-disc collection might never have seen the light of day if not for David Lee Roth.
David Lee Roth joined honoree Mike Love for a spirited rendition of 'California Girls' as the Beach Boys singer was honored as recipient of the 21st Ella Award in Beverly Hills. The award is given out annually by the Society of Singers.
For Patty Smyth, the improbable opportunity to join Van Halen as David Lee Roth's replacement in the mid-'80s would have come at too high of a cost.
David Lee Roth recently let slip that Van Halen is working on a follow-up to 2012's 'A Different Kind of Truth,' and although he cautioned fans they'd have to wait awhile, it sounds like the band is making real progress.
"Ted just didn't see eye to eye with the way I looked at things. That was my whole premise for building the studio."
It was 14 years between Van Halen's last two albums (or even longer if you don't want to count the Gary Cherone debacle), but it seems like we won't have to wait nearly as long for new music from them again. In a new interview, David Lee Roth says that they could have something ready by the middle of 2015.
Van Halen's much-anticipated 2012 tour with original singer David Lee Roth didn't exactly go off as planned, with a ton of dates eventually being scrapped. But that didn't stop them from making an animated appearance on last night's episode of 'South Park.'

Years ago, JC's version of this dish was a standard in my repertoire. I don't cook like that anymore, but was drawn to this recipe for its ease and ingredients. It's pretty good but just seemed to lack depth of flavor. First I added about a quarter cup of cognac; that helped but not enough. The key is 2T of tomato paste. Just buy the tube and squirt it in. Makes the difference. Let it simmer on the stove for a little longer than the recipe suggests. Also, cook it a day in advance and reheat.
I made it to the letter. It was delicious. I need to watch my cholesterol so I will cut down a little on fat in a few places but not much. This will be a splurge meal for us.
I thought this was alright but not so good that I would make it again. Next I plan to try an authentic Coq au vin recipe.
Very tasty and easy! Actually 3.5 forks for me, too. I used skinless,boneless chicken thighs which were delicious and tender. I would use more bacon next time. (However, my daughter ate more than half of the bacon I'd sauteed before I could add it back into the pot!). It also needed a good bit of salt and pepper at the table, so I might use more of that while it's cooking. Overall, it's a keeper! My family loved it!
Really delicious! And easy for a beginning cook too! Like the others, I pretty much followed the instructions to a T. If you aren't cooking a whole chicken (which I didn't) I would suggest getting chicken legs (basically drumsticks + thighs). Three large ones weight about 2 pounds and so I just halved the recipe. Next time I will definitely serve w/either some potatoes or garlic bread on the side. The sauce is too good to just leave alone after the chicken's all gone!
Even my French husband loved this Coq Au Vin. I pretty much followed the recipe using a decent, but inexpensive red wine, pearl onions, homemade chicken broth, and whole baby portabello mushrooms - which worked out fine. I couldn't help drinking the sauce it was so delish; even better the next day. Served with whole potatoes, boiled then peeled and sauteed in butter.

I am replacing the can light over my shower with a Broan 744 can light / fan. The specs say it should be GFCI protected for wet installations. I will be replacing the current switch with a woods timer.
I am looking at my options to deal with the GFCI requirement. 1. Install a GFCI breaker on the lighting circuit for this part of the house. 2. Install a dead head GFCI in the closet next to the shower and feed the existing switch from this. 3. Install a box and a dead head GFCI in the attic next to the can. So option 1 would be the easiest, but I have heard that CFL's can trip GFCI breakers and all of the lights besides the shower on this circuit are CFL. Does anyone have any experince with CFL's and GFCI breakers? Option 3 would be the next option, although I'm not sure about installing a GFCI in an unfinished attic. It would seem to defeat the spirit of the device since it would never be tested. Would this pass inspection? Option 2 should work, it's just the most work. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Option 1 or 2. You don't want to have to crawl into an unfinished attic to reset a GFCI. Never heard of any issues with CFLs and GFCI breakers. |
I ended up using a gfci breaker after making sure the neutral reaches. No issues with the cfls. |

Parenting Fears And Reality Checks

Tweet Parenting is a cacophony of emotions.

Someone you know lost a child, someone in your area had a child go missing, someone who knows someone who […]
Welcome to the February 2014 Carnival of Natural Parenting: Parenting Fears
This post was written for inclusion in the monthly Carnival of Natural Parenting hosted by Code Name: Mama and Hobo Mama. This month our participants have shared stories and wisdom about parenting fears.
It's the fear of these things that make parents so susceptible to marketing, spending (often wasting) money on the latest gadgets and basically living our lives doing everything we can to prevent something bad, and encourage something good happening to the little people entrusted to us.
The scary thing though? Like most of us, I know this, but I still have three particular fears where my two little girls are concerned:
In no particular order, there's the fear of death, kidnapping and failure.
Most of us know someone who has lost a baby – born or unborn – or a child. I never knew how 'common' infant loss was till I became a mother myself. And then, because Ameli's birth was such an amazing, enriching and empowering experience, I was terrified when Aviya's turn came. For months I really worried, almost believed that I would never get to hold her alive. I was so worried something was going to go wrong in her birth. I mean, what are the chances that I could be so blessed, twice.
And now, even though I am a confident second time mother, and even though I am confident and relatively experienced in my use of homoeopathic and herbal remedies over conventional medicines for most of the girls' minor ailments, when Aviya, specifically, gets ill, this niggely, horrible voice in the back of my head forces me to question myself, reminding me of that 'feeling'. It takes a lot of pulling myself together to trust my intuition as much with this lovely second child of mine.
While many of us know someone who has been touched by the loss of a child, very few of us – me included – knows personally someone who has had a child kidnapped. And yet, it's probably one of the biggest fears a parent faces. I can't imagine how parents who have lost a child this way go on. I can't imagine the horror. And yet, the statistics on 'stranger danger' and someone doing something to our children are so different to what our fears justify.
If you're a parent who lives in the shadow of this fear, I highly recommend Sue Palmer's book, Toxic Childhood (US Link). It highlights how rare something like a stranger kidnapping really is, but how, because we see the lost and forlorn little face, and the obviously heartbroken parents in our living room, on repeat, day after day after day, it imprints on our brains to the point that we start almost identifying each replay as a new occurrence. (I actually recommend this book for a ton of other reasons too, it doesn't make you feel guilty, but does encourage you to see a lot of reality in parenting and child raising. It's one of my top three parenting book recommendations!)
Failure. Failure is a big one, and we all get it from the day our babies are conceived. Didn't have a natural birth? Will I be able to bond with my child? Didn't breastfeed? You and your child will probably both die of cancer. Didn't babywear? Your poor child will lag behind in literacy for, like, ever. Didn't co-sleep? Poor kid will have intimacy issues for the rest of their lives. You sent them to nursery school for four hours a week? Oh, the drama. Didn't send them to a Montessori/Steiner/Waldorf/Forest school? What kind of parent are you!?
Pretty much everything we do is wrong to someone. Praise your kids? Wrong. Don't praise your kids? Wrong. Send them to school? Wrong. Keep them at home? Wrong . Feed them grass-fed meat? Wrong. Feed them no meat? Wrong. Make everything from scratch? Did you sprout the grains first? Well… did you?
I think a lot of parenting and enjoying parenting comes down to three things:
Let go - of the things you can't control.
Be realistic - in accordance to what's real, your circumstances and what you can really do
Trust your instinct - listen to your child, listen to the voice inside you, and when you're confident in your choices, no one can make you feel judged. And when you're not confident, do your own research.
If you can – if I can – let go of things I don't control, be realistic about my limitations and abilities, circumstances and finances, and trust that everything I do is for the best of my children and our family, the fears are a lot easier to quell, and motherhood is a much more fulfilling, enjoyable ride.

We started our farm just outside of Harrison, Arkansas in the Gaither Valley in 2007 with the intention of raising livestock naturally for your consumption. Our first concern has been focused on bringing the native grasses back and nurturing the land so that it can sustain our dreams of raising hogs, lambs, beef and chicken naturally.
Our Livestock is grown on open grass pasture, never confined. They are given no supplemental hormones or low level maintenance antibiotics. We use multi-species managed intensive grazing techniques to ensure the health, life quality and superiority of our land and livestock. No herbicides, insecticides, or synthetic fertilizers are ever sprayed on our grass and, to our knowledge, have not been used for at least the last 10 years. Our Cattle and Sheep are raised on a diet of grass. Our Pigs and Chickens free range on grass pasture and are fed grain free choice.
We chose the brand name Rustica to describe our meat and meat products as the word evokes the simple and pastoral qualities of life. That is what our meats are; simple, low impact, responsible, humane, and simply (we think) the best darn meat you will ever taste. Rustica Beef is Air Cured for a minimum of 14 days for ultimate tenderness. We use cryo-vac freezer packaging which provides better protection for your meat and allows you to see at a glance what is in the package.
We have been fed fast, unnatural and unsustainable products by big business long eough. We want to put real food back on your table. That is why we are taking a lead in the grass roots movement toward slower, more healthy and tasty food. Our livestock are pasture raised, grass fed, and grown naturally. This is our Farms creed; to move beyond organic practices with low impact methods, sustainable stewardship, responsible action, and humane treatment.

1962 Seattle World's Fair: Take a 'City of Tomorrow' quiz
The Seattle Times
When the world came to Seattle
On April 21, 1962, the gates opened to a World's Fair in Seattle that left an indelible stamp on the city's image and future.
For 184 days, locals and visitors alike marveled at the Space Needle, the Monorail, the "World of Tomorrow" pavilions, and the "Spacearium."
Days before the opening, The Seattle Times published a 152-page "Seattle World's Fair Souvenir Edition" that was packed with information about the fair as well as predictions for the future. We're celebrating the anniversary by revisiting that section:
Take a 'City of Tomorrow' quiz
What's new? That's what a lot of people were asking around Seattle in 1962. And the World's Fair provided the answers. So here are a few questions based on the "City of Tomorrow" special section being featured today.1) A unique feature about the new Eastside community of Somerset was its:
A) Self-mowing lawns.
B) Nuclear-powered homes.
C) Views of the Space Needle.
2) What Seattle building was billed as the "original Space Needle":
A) Columbia Center.
B) The Smith Tower.
C) The Seattle First National Bank Building.
3) A "typical day in the life" in the 21st century would include:
A) Eating prepackaged breakfasts that "are heated in about six seconds, thanks to lightning-fast ray ovens."
B) Plugging in "the thinkatron" to get the "morning news, predigested, from a living-room machine."
C) Flying to Coeur d'Alene to visit an old school chum.
1) C: The Somerset neighborhood "will offer fair visitors a long-range view of the World's Fair" since it "has an altitude 150 feet higher than the Space Needle," says one story. The article also noted that all of the Somerset homes were electrically heated and received "the Gold Medallion Award of the electric industry for quality." An ad in the section said that because of the "plentiful, low-cost electric power in the area, Seattle was "America's 'Electric City.' "
2) B: An advertisement for the Smith Tower said "The old and original Space Needle salutes the new and greater Space Needle," adding that the Smith Tower was "the tallest building on the coast." For many years, though, it was known as the tallest building west of Chicago. The Seattle First National Bank Building (now called the 1001 4th Avenue Plaza), opened in 1969, was once known as "the box the Space Needle came in." Seattle's tallest skyscraper, the 83-story Columbia Center, opened in 1985.
3) A, B and C: Longtime Seattle Times' reporter Don Duncan correctly predicts the future in a story headlined "Speculation: 'Normal' 21st century activities envisaged."
3: You win a new home in Newport Shores.
2: You win a new home in Newport Hills.
1: You win a new home in Newport News, Va.
0: You win a new pack of Newport cigarettes.

Ate here one evening and whilst the service was friendly the restaurant was virtually empty and the food was very mediocre. We did not consider eating here a second time.
Ate here one evening and whilst the service was friendly the restaurant was virtually empty and the food was very mediocre. We did not consider eating here a second time.
This is best way to start your day! Wonderful breakfast buffet, all freshly made and chefs on hand in case there is anything you need. Lovely fresh fruit and fabulous setting overlooking Hollywood Boulevard. Superb
Nice ambiance, but pretty much your standard hotel-priced/hotel- quality food. I would recommend venturing out of the hotel into the attached open-air mall for some yummy well-priced variety.
I was a teacher chaperone of 30 students. We were provided a private room and buffet dinner. Awesome!
Awesome service! Outstanding food! I was totally impressed!
I highly recommend this restaurant. Twist is located in the Marriott Renaissance Hollywood hotel. On first look, this appears to be your large high-end hotel restaurant, high priced, mediocre food and uncaring service. I only went there, as it was part of a pre-paid package. However, very quickly we found the service and food to be excellent. And, surprise, surprise,... More
I had a prefix menu for a conference so it was not very good
I thought the happy hour prices were great, and they had live music! The food and service was good. Without the live music, I would give it a 4 star, but the live music was worthy of an extra star.
Four of us went in for the $5-$12 specials menu and ordered off that menu but the waiter bought out new york style steaks that cost $32 ea from the regular menu that we didnt have or see. Then he gave off the vibe that it was our fault not his. when the correct order came out it was good... More
Poor service, very slow but pretty good food. The waitress was pleasant but was not at all attentive to her tables. Food took forever to arrive and the restaurant had barely a handful of people.

Two people were injured in a three vehicle crash in Jennings County Thursday afternoon.
Jennings County Sheriff's deputies responded to the crash on State Road 7 just south of County Road 300 North. Witnesses report that a pickup truck driven by 72-year-old Laverne K. Hall, of North Vernon, was traveling southbound in the construction zone when she collided with a northbound box truck driven by 61-year-old Paul R. Shepherd of Franklin. After striking the box truck, Hall's vehicle then collided with a car driven by Rory Stanley of North Vernon. Hall's vehicle then struck a concrete barrier before coming to a stop.
Maj. Jerry Shepherd, with the Jennings County Sheriff's Department, says 43-year-old Laverne Hall and her passenger, 43-year-old Charlene Deeta, of North Vernon, received non-life threatening injuries in the crash. Both were transported St. Vincent Jennings Hospital. Shepherd says there were no other injuries.

Christophe Cedat protests France's smoking ban by experimenting on himself.
"I am not a crazy adventurer," Cedat said. "I have two kids, and my business is thriving." A cardiologist and a psychologist have been monitoring him, he added. And he actually reduced his daily cigarette intake by half a pack after his doctor told him that he might die from a cardiac spasm if he kept smoking two packs a day.
Cedat intends to defend smokers' rights, even though he was not one of them just four months ago.
"The issue with tobacco," he said, "is that there are about 15 million smokers in France, you can't treat them so harshly. I don't understand why this law is so strict, when in other areas things are much more flexible."
His cafe is now among France's few smoking bars. He got around the ban by building a large, covered terrace.
"I am an explorer," Cedat said. "My cafe, for instance, is a fantastic social lab."
Some of the young smokers whose rights Cedat is defending have actually discovered social benefits in the smoking ban.
The Mad Maker Pub near the Sorbonne University is one of Paris' few bars with a smoking room. But on a recent day the smoking room was empty. Instead, a group of students was smoking on the sidewalk.
"It's too cold in the smoking room," said Gaetan Bialet, "so we prefer smoking outside."
"It is not nice when you go somewhere and there is too much smoke," said Nicolas Morin. "I was in Madrid last week and even at the airport they have smoking corners, it stank seriously — I understand non-smokers."
According to Morin, the ban has helped to bring people together, in an age where people easily socialize online with strangers, but rarely talk to the person sitting next to them on the bus. Now, strangers smoking together outside will strike up conversation.
"There is also the flirting corner factor," said Morin, "smoking helps you get closer to other people. Before, you could smoke a fag at your table, now you meet new people because you need to go outside to smoke."

When its you against the world bet the world..L man is clearing his name but its costly even with a great legal team but long term he pulled off a great comeback time to take a knee maybe??? why face more injury....Get on with the merger.....may show the sec what a waste.if mission accomplished anyway....penalty phase should be soon/.
Nice move based on what. Probably fund looking for value...new cof a bluegreen expert to make co more attractive??
Liked his number and how he deciphered the enigma of both COS.Even with a error rate of 20% the upside and potential of 1 Billion...... thanks T and others is reachable if SO FLA stays hot.. The chocolate play has a reason.think soda bottles then prohibition then repeal ........The key issue highlighted is the L mans vindication and limbo land until cleared up.He has a shot on appeal the judge by summary judgment biased the litigation.....and in Fed . cases Juries are impressed the GOV found a basis for the litigation Best of LucK to all longs and L man this year
Reverse is a good play.need a for sale sign or revs at least .good news they may have sec reporting issues cleared up and room to get their money out somehow. Let's see them work majic...cheers
cheers and happy holiday and as they say at the track and mkt...get up ..... need a wire soon.. happy new year mates....your efforts appreciated
Agree who knows the value but overtime its 20 plus. ..... options on sell off nice play. Bfcf will show similar percentage price in part 2. Deduct 30 percent from articles and still a buy ..so Fla hot
Yep its another year of legal bills and uncertainty. The street hates the structure need consolidation but value is still there if you have time
Miami jury finds them guilty of failure to disclose material information see yahoo news bummer sorry mates and bbx holders
Its a #$%$ shoot but in theses cases you want intelligent jurors who can master the evidence presented...The feds or slow but good and Jurors tend to be active in debate..Thanks to Buy and others for the great updates. L man needs a little miracle and its that time of year. I wish him the best it was the worst of time for the gov also they should know you get on TV and insure the public. like they did. Cheers.
So fla business journal 2 articles on proceedings Google and add Levin.IMHO the feds are slow but good but levan has a good defense problem is standard of proof is just presumption of guilt and trial judge ruled statements of solvency were false..its high noon time. Peers decide so jury selection key..and total industry had issues reporting during panick its like war rules and decisions change during crisis..panick causes choosing rough choices. And reliance on legal counsel and accountants relied on as levan did .need smart jurors needed. Issue has been raised before. Sec is using this as send message case...we need a fair ruling here he's right no bailout needed and loans were OK look at numbers, best of luck l man
Ct should be board by now side bar this to conclusion
Probably right but control lies with bfcf and the insiders money from the start ofcrash
If co worth 19 a month ago. Should be regardless of jury verdict..takes courage to enter here but long term. Good play....legal bill better be worth this nail biter
Nice pop late. L mans in hands of peers a democracy of fairness
Yep if liked it at 8 k mart blue light special got the reserves production just perception oil is going lower yet still big revs at these prices...hold until relieved....
good entry point plus natural gas play alone is great cash flow till they clean up the Rampart enigma of the alaska drilling....like it her but need some upbeat news about the joint venture delay
Agree the whole world was on fire and l man survived and came back. Gov has been called out...now gov sending a message. ... case is being tried..l man is willing to risk all best wid he's a gutty man takes them on..in lawyers and c ourts hands ..others did the ss me in tome of crisis....it's a thin line. Now a gunfight. In court
Heres my take If it was not a toxic asset L man will get his mkt value eventually.Student housing is a cash cow if you dont have new construction....He might move it
Like detailed accounting and plan set out.great numbers should reflect tons of interest ...bring it on t
T your right its a come back and now the st sees it. Cheers longs

Can we say road trip? While vacationers across the county hit the road last week in search of grand adventures, one very lucky group of dogs also embarked on the trip of a lifetime.
As part of our national transport program, the ASPCA helped relocate 121 dogs from Southern California to shelters in Oregon and Washington. In partnership with the Shelter Transport Animal Rescue Team (START), we pulled the homeless pets from overcrowded shelters and transported them to partners in the Pacific Northwest, where they are more likely to be adopted.
"Without these life-saving transports, the majority of these dogs would be euthanized," says Kristen Limbert, Director of the ASPCA's Animal Relocation program. "Thanks to START's tremendous efforts in their community, we have no doubt that this group of canines will find loving homes—and we sure are happy to help give them that chance."
Special thanks go out to Live Oak Bank for providing the funding to be used over the course of this year for select animal transports across the country. If you are interested in adopting one of these transport pups, check out this list of participating shelters.
We work hard to find homes for loveable dogs around the country, doing everything from hosting adoption events to tweeting our tails off. But sometimes these precious pups just need a ride!
That's why we're thrilled to announce the successful completion of our work with The Carroll Petrie Foundation Dog Rescue Project, a $1 million initiative to fund much-needed services for over 16,000 shelter dogs and puppies at local shelters across the country. Last weekend, we celebrated this milestone with a "Bon Voyage" event, as the final transport departed Miami-Dade Animal Services with more than 30 dogs and puppies bound for Long Island's Precious Pups Rescue in Calverton, New York. Visit our photo album to see the adorable pups on their way to brighter futures.
Thanks to the Petrie Project, thousands of dogs got a lift from overcrowded shelters—in states from Florida to California—to areas of the country where they have a better chance at finding forever homes.
"Seeing the assistance we've been able to provide to shelters across the country thanks to The Carroll Petrie Foundation Dog Rescue Project has been truly inspiring," says ASPCA President & CEO Matt Bershadker. "Through this generous donation, shelters were able to provide 16,600 dogs with the life-saving services they needed to get that second chance at finding loving homes."
For more information on this life-saving initiative, please visit our Animal Relocation and Transport page. To join the conversation, use the hashtag #PetriePups.
With yesterday's news that Smithfield Foods, one of the oldest and largest pork producers in the country, has agreed to be sold to a meat processing company based in China, we're once again reminded how important it is for consumers to be aware of where meat products come from.
According to news reports, Smithfield's new ownership is primarily intended to export pork products to China, which is prohibited from sending its pork and beef to the U.S due to food safety concerns for both humans and companion animals. Increasingly, American consumers are concerned with the conditions in which their food is produced. Smithfield is one of many companies phasing out gestation crates, horrendous metal-barred cages that keep breeding sows in spaces so tight they cannot even turn around. It had pledged to remove these archaic cages from its international operations by 2022, and we are encouraged to hear the company state that it plans to keep this commitment.
What You Can Do
What can consumers do when faced with difficult issues surrounding food safety and the welfare of animals? Animal health and consumer safety can be encouraged through expanded education. If meat is part of your diet, there are several product-labeling programs that require higher standards of care for farm animals. They include:
• Certified Humane*
• Animal Welfare Approved
• Global Animal Partnership
• Food Alliance
• American Grassfed
Similarly, the government is increasingly responding to consumer demand for more transparency around the conditions in which our food is produced. Just last week, the US Department of Agriculture approved mandatory country-of-origin labeling on steaks, ribs and other cuts of meat that will indicate where the animal was born, raised and slaughtered. This is a huge step in the right direction and will help consumers make informed choices when shopping for their families.
For more information, please visit the Farm Animal section of ASPCA.org.
*The ASPCA supports this program through grants funding
Last weekend as part of the ASPCA Animal Relocation program, 68 lucky dogs took to the skies, leaving Southern California for the Pacific Northwest via plane and even helicopter. They were all headed to areas where we knew they'd be in great demand, giving them the best possible chance at adoption.
But that was only Part One of this transport project. Part Two came yesterday, when 113 dogs—and four raccoons S.T.A.R.T.'s driver happened to find—were loaded into transport vehicles. After dropping off the raccoons at a wildlife rescue, S.T.A.R.T. and the dogs headed for Oregon and Washington.
Riverside County Department of Animal Services waved good-bye to the 113 dogs, and S.T.A.R.T Rescue (Shelter Transport Animal Rescue Team) began the journey up the West Coast.
Today, the dogs arrived in Washington and Oregon, and we're so excited for them to begin this new chapter of their lives. To see our photos of this transport, check out our Facebook album.
And if you live in Oregon or Washington, be on the lookout for Cali dogs at the following shelters:
- Heartland Humane Society in Corvallis, OR
- Luv A Bull in Eugene, OR
- My Way Home Dog Rescue in Sandy, OR
- Safe Haven Humane Society in Albany, OR
- Smidget Rescue in Auburn, WA
- Snipped in Coos Bay, OR
- Willamette Humane Society in Salem, OR
- Hopes Haven in Salem, OR
- Puget Sound Rescue in Auburn, WA
- R.A.I.N. (Rescuing Animals in Need) in Federal Way, WA
Dogs transported Saturday are settling in at Kitsap Humane Society and Seattle Humane Society. Thanks to everyone involved in the successful transport of these pups!
West Coast dogs are on the move! On Saturday, 68 adoptable dogs traveled from Southern California to shelters in Washington where they'll have a better chance to find loving homes. The dogs traveled by plane, car—and even helicopter!
The dogs left Los Angeles Animal Services' West Valley Shelter and Best Friends Pet Adoption & Spay Neuter Center on Saturday morning and headed for the Long Beach airport! They were loaded onto 22 planes flown by volunteer pilots with Pilots N Paws, sponsored in part by Subaru, and began their voyage north. In Fresno, California, the dogs boarded a second set of planes, and Pilots N Paws volunteer pilots flew them the rest of the way to Northern California.
Check out our photo album on Facebook of this amazing trip!
After landing at the airport in Redding, the dogs were met by vans funded by the ASPCA and driven by volunteers and staff from Kitsap Humane Society in Silverdale, Wash. After receiving walks, dinner and fresh water, the dogs were driven overnight to Kitsap Humane Society and Seattle Humane Society (in Bellevue, Washington), where they will eventually be available for adoption.
About 100 more Southern California dogs are awaiting their rides tomorrow. Stay tuned to ASPCA.org for updates!

Potter, Product Manager. "The legend [of the Battle of Red Cliff] is one that resonates throughout history -- Heroes of Three Kingdoms brings to life one of the most turbulent periods in history."

So much like Kingdom Heroes from Aeria... Also there was a 3rd game like them both, not sure if it's still coming out (Online 3 Kingdoms).

This Game is also called Red Cliff overseas which is already out and playable. Heroes of three kingdoms is just the NA port. It will be interesting to see what the changes are.

poison hemlock
poison hemlock
Any of several poisonous herbaceous plants of the parsley family, especially Conium maculatum, believed to be the plant that killed Socrates. It is now common in the U.S. as well as in Europe. A tall biennial, this plant has green stems spotted with red or purple, large compound leaves, and white flowers. Though the poison is concentrated in the seeds, the entire plant is dangerous to livestock when fresh. Despite their common name, poison hemlocks are not conifers (see hemlock). Water hemlocks (Cicuta species) are similar and also dangerous.

Can You Get Addicted To Your Vibrator?
Remember, vibrators and other sex toys are made to stimulate particular parts of the body. they are specifically designed to reach places most tongues, fingers and other bodily parts can't. They also give you power over your own orgasm. With a toy, you control every movement, the depth and the speed. You can hit the same spot whenever you want with no fumbling and no guess work. Who doesn't want a guaranteed orgasm?
Addiction suggests something harmful or wrong, and frankly, there is nothing harmful about using toys as a means to improve your sex life. People can definitely become accustomed to using sex toys, but there is not a withdrawal period if you stop, and you can easily switch back to masturbating or more traditional sex and still reach climax without sex toys.
My opinion? If using a vibrator every time you have sex means you have an orgasm every time you have sex, then everyone wins. He gets off, she gets off. Where is the harm in that?
More About me: I am the owner of an online romance store www.BlissConnection.com and have been selling sex toys and lingerie for the last ten years. I just opened a brand new plus size lingerie store in San Jose called Curvy Girl Lingerie.

Ok, so some of you have probably done this.
The other day I was heading out to pick up a pizza. I threw on my slide-on OWB then went to grab my pistol.
For some reason, it did not want to go in. It should slide right in, what the hell ?
I put the pistol down and felt around with my hands to see if my holster got smushed or something.
What I discovered it, you cannot holster your weapon in the bottom hole! First time I've ever done that hehe. Thought I would share.

Hello, My gas cooktop installation sheet says to line the edges of the cutout with heat reflective foil tape such as Scotch Aluminum Foil Tape 425 or 427. This stuff in expensive online. Will any foil tape, such as the multipurpose stuff used to seal duct joints work or do I need something that's flame resistant? Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Who knows ? The cooktop manuf. has specified a certain product that they have tested to work. All alum. tape is expensive. I'd think other tapes with the same ratings will perform similarly, but they'll cost roughly the same too. You're looking for flame resistance, U.L. listing of whatever that 425 has, and roughly the same mil thickness as the specified product. Do you have a laminate or corian counter ? |
I am confused by the OP. I just googled Scotch 3M 425 Aluminum Foil Tape, and it's $27 at Staples for the 2" x 5 yd. size. I assume you don't need a big roll of tape for a gas cooktop install, so I selected the smallest roll from the Staples drop-down menu. Or, do you need a special size of Aluminum Foil Tape? Edit: I just did a quick search on eBay for "3M 425 tape", and found 3", 4" and 6" widths (5 yd. roll) all under $30. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Scotch 425 Aluminum Foil Tape 2-inch x 5 yds.
This post was edited by Sahmmy on Sun, Jun 15, 14 at 17:20
I was about to google that tape myself. I guess "expensive" is a relative term. IMHO, you should use what the manufacturer recommends. Period. |

U.S. sends three minority Chinese detainees to Slovakia
- Tweet
- Share this
WASHINGTON/PRAGUE (Reuters) - The United States is sending the three remaining ethnic Uighur Chinese inmates at the Guantanamo Bay detention center to Slovakia, the Pentagon said on Tuesday, in the latest of a flow of transfers aimed at eventually shutting the controversial prison.
Yusef Abbas, Saidullah Khalik, and Hajiakbar Abdul Ghuper are the last of 22 Muslim minority Chinese nationals to be moved from the Guantanamo Bay military prison in Cuba, Rear Admiral John Kirby, a Pentagon spokesman, said in a statement.
"This transfer and resettlement constitutes a significant milestone in our effort to close the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay," Kirby said in a statement.
Slovakia's interior ministry confirmed that the central European country will take in the three Uighurs.
The European Union and NATO member first accepted three Guantanamo prisoners in 2010, and the ministry said the latest transfer is a continuation of an EU-U.S. agreement aimed at helping President Barack Obama close the prison.
"As in the first case, this is about transporting people who have never been suspected of nor charged with a criminal act of terrorism," the ministry said in a statement.
Kirby said the United States was grateful to Slovakia for its "humanitarian gesture."
Most of the Uighurs at Guantanamo were captured near the Pakistan-Afghanistan border in late 2001, and were believed to have trained with the Taliban. But U.S. officials have deemed that they pose no threat to the United States.
In 2008, a U.S. court ordered that they be released; some have been resettled in El Salvador, Switzerland, Bermuda, Albania, and the Pacific island nation of Palau.
China has demanded the Uighurs be returned to China, but the U.S. government says it will not do so because they would face persecution there.
Uighurs come from the restive mainly Muslim region of Xinjiang in the far west of China.
Obama has struggled to fulfill his 2009 promise to close Guantanamo detention center, which for many people symbolizes U.S. excesses in the years following the September 11, 2001 attacks. Obama has been blocked in large part due to restrictions imposed by Congress.
Last week, Obama gave Congress credit for relaxing restrictions on transferring detainees from the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay to the custody of foreign governments, but said lawmakers needed to go further.
Congress has retained regulations that prevent the transfer of prisoners to American soil, where they could be tried in federal courts.
There are 155 detainees from various countries remaining at Guantanamo, many of them from Yemen. Most of them have never been charged. The administration has recently become more active in making transfers, sending two detainees each to Sudan, Saudi Arabia and Algeria.

Wednesday, August 20 15:42:40
Continental Tyres and the Football Association of Ireland (FAI) have announced a partnership that will see the German manufacturer become an official partner of women's football in Ireland.
In addition to becoming the main supporter of Irish women's football, Continental has been named as the title sponsor of the Women's National League which will be rebranded as the Continental Tyres Women's National League.
The company will also lend its name to the Continental Tyres Women's FAI Cup, the Continental Tyres Women's Senior FAI Cup and the FAI's Elite Camps that foster the development of emerging football talent. The Continental Tyres Women's National League new season kicks off on this Sunday.
Guy Frobisher, Continental Tyres Marketing Director for Region North, said: "Continental has a long history of supporting football at every level from senior international through to club level and right down to grass roots and community football programmes, so we are delighted to extend that support to Ireland by becoming the official partner of women's football here".
Continental Tyres has been an official sponsor of the FIFA World Cup and the UEFA Euro Championship and is the official partner of women's football in England and title sponsor of the Continental Cup.
"Just as in many countries across Europe, women's football in Ireland is a booming strand of the sport and we are keen that our support will reach out to new players at the community level so as to encourage more young girls to get involved", said Mr. Frobisher.

What a great idea! Definitely going to make some of these. I'm thinking that the sandpaper is to rough up and take the some of the shine off of the cup a little bit on the area you're going to prime so the primer will adhere better. And then lightly sand the primer after it's dried to make sure there are no bumps for your chalkboard area.
Where does the sand paper come in? It is in the supply list, but not in the instructions. Do you sand before you primer or between coats of primer and chalkboard paint?
Great craft and I am going to make it. But what is the sand paper for? The instructions call for it but it is not used. Do you sandpaper the area after you tape it and before you prime it?
